Police Say Blood Found in Murder Suspect’s N.C. Insurance Agency

May 29, 2008

A police search warrant says there was blood inside a Charlotte, N.C. insurance agency owned by a man charged in the death of a woman auditing his business.

The warrant says 40-year-old Michael Howell of Indian Trail initially allowed police to search the Dilworth Insurance Agency. But after they discovered blood on the carpet and a computer cord, Howell apparently stopped them and said they’d have to come back with a warrant.

Prosecutors have charged Howell with first-degree murder in the death of 44-year-old Sallie Rohrbach.

Rohrbach was an investigator with the state Department of Insurance. She was reviewing the books at Howell’s business when she disappeared two weeks ago.
